I go through the steps of creating backup settings but when I click the
button to create my first backup I get this message:

file backup could not save your automatic backup settings for the following
reason:
Your backup configuration is not valid. Review your backup settings
(0x000029)
Please try again.

Does anyone have a solution?
 
Vista won't let you backup to your main hard drive (e.g. C:). It makes no
sense to back up to your main hard drive because the main reason for backing
up is the loss of that very hard drive. I back up to an external hard
drive.
 
I understand your point but vista offers backing up to a hard drive as an
option. I'll try a flash drive or cd and see how that works for me.
 
I backup to a USB drive, I have done a full system backup, and a restore with
no problems.
I run a file backup to a IDE drive, again with no problems.

I hope this helps
